    [quote name='jmesa' post='402248' date='Feb 6 2009, 06:32 PM']Having recently fallen back in love with my Mesa 6x10, I figure I don't need 2 stupidly large cabinets...[/quote] I so wanted this a while back, when it was the 610 you were selling, but have moved on now... Best of luck with the sale. At that price it should fly out the door.

    Nice bass Matt, my guess is that's an early 90s vintage. I had a 6 made around that time that was very similar in styling and appointments.

    Try Elixirs. They're expensive but they last forever and are really fast with minimal finger noise.
  5. franzbassist
    I would recommend Ken Smith tapercores, they are most excellent strings.

    Oh wow, walnut and fretless, my favourite combination...

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='394517' date='Jan 29 2009, 01:16 PM']I thought Derek Smalls played a Sei bass? The only Alembic with a split pick up IIRC was the Persuader which is now discontinued.[/quote] BC Rich wasn't it?

    [quote name='Bassmanc' post='391860' date='Jan 26 2009, 04:10 PM']I have a beautiful Fylde King John Acoustic bass guitar. Sure it's huge, 34" scale and a deep dreadnaught jumbo body, but it's as lond as you need to accompany other acoustic instruments.[/quote] Ooh, let's see some pictures please!

    [quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='373505' date='Jan 7 2009, 09:10 PM']Great guy to deal with. Doug bought a set of Fender Somarium Cobalt Noiseless jazz pickups from me. Excellent communication throughout.[/quote] Bought an OBBM cable off me and was a total gent. Fast payment and great communication throughout.

    [quote name='mcgraham' post='393581' date='Jan 28 2009, 12:35 PM'] It'll be fine. I play and fret very lightly. My other bass had small vintage sized Fender frets and there was little to no fret wear after 4 years of playing around 4 hours a day most days. So good quality ones should be fine... I hope! Mark[/quote] Glad you reacted in the light hearted way I meant the comment to be taken! Seriously love the way you can get that almost fretless thing going with mando/banjo frets, but as you say, a light touch is vital, plus you won't have a low B pounding them into oblivion!!

    Sweet looking bass. I had a lot of dealings with Enrico when he was staring up and he's uber passionate about his stuff. Banjo frets eh? How much does a full refret cost every year I wonder...

    Sold a cable to Peter. He paid for it immediately and was a pleasure to deal with.

    Surplus to requirements as I've gone back to a hard case. [list] [*]Leather trim throughout. [*]Heavy duty denier shell with full-length zip so the bag can be opened flat. [*]1" foam padding throughout with internal headtsock and bridge protectors. [*]Large buckle saddle bag type pouch on the front. [*]Strap hook so you can hang it up! [*]Dual back-pack straps. [/list] Really excellent bag giving superb protection. This is pretty much mint condition, and as over £100 new in the UK I'm asking [b]£75 posted[/b], or buyer can collect from NE Hampshire or Central London.

    [quote name='spiritchaser' post='389704' date='Jan 23 2009, 03:50 PM']Any news on Paul's status quo on the WAL production by the way?[/quote] I suspect [url="http://www.walbass.co.uk/"]this[/url] is the start of the brave new world...

    [quote name='RichBowman' post='389384' date='Jan 23 2009, 10:32 AM']I preferred the GB as I found the EA a little to 'dry' for my tastes.[/quote] How funny, I went to an iAmp500 for that very reason, my electric and acoustic basses sound equally good through it! Good news on the sale.

    [quote name='Higgie' post='389176' date='Jan 23 2009, 12:06 AM']The only thing that puts me off is that there has been quite a few of these being sold, when they are relatively new amps. What's wrong with them?[/quote] I took one in on a trade and moved it on within a week. The [i]only[/i] reason I did so was it didn't sound good with my acoustic bass, and I needed something more versatile; my Wal sounded great through it. Great amp, great price.

    Pretty much the definitive book on Fender basses. Check it out [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0634026402/ref=sib_dp_pt/278-7471382-2444464#reader-link"]here[/url]. £10 posted.
